Chapter 5 - A Time of War
A Time of War
By: Robin Hutchins
{A Ballad of Tallahassee}
A time of war
this has become
a time of grief and eyes so sore
and a time for no one to be numb
The siege has started
theyre almost thru
weve been out smarted
they will have a home a new
With hair like blood
she charged
and fall back, did her hood
as the lords daughter charged
Lord Seri cried out
as she joined the battle
he knew he would never see her pout
as she was dragged from her saddle
Seri sank to his knees
tears streaming down his face
now the enemy held the key
just as they held the mace
As the enemy pulled out
the bloody field was revealed
the lords daughters horse no longer had a snout
and there was no sign of her on the field
Lady Cremin cried
as she heard the news of her daughters fate
her eldest daughter has defied
orders from her mother, always too late
So now we must retreat
lest our stubbornness
be our defeat
and that to show our arrogance
For now as we board
the ships made to carry
the lords daughter for
she will never return to marry
The enemy has found
her presence to be bounding
so we cannot wait around
for there will be no founding
The time for war has ended
because now we have a marriage
the treaty has been mended
so now the lord must give a carriage
The castle we once defended
is now under their control
and the law has been bended
so, now we play the fool
The time for war is gone
just as the lords daughter is now gone.
